Express: Reds patient on Fazio

Liverpool are remaining patient as they weigh up a move for Sevilla defender Federico Fazio.

The Argentine has already been linked with moves to Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim and Russian club Zenit St Petersburg.

Fazio is valued at £5m, so the Reds shouldn't have too much of a problem meeting the asking price. ESPN reveals Hoffenheim have already had a bid for Fazio rejected by Sevilla.

Fazio's agent Alvaro Torres insisted his client will only leave Sevilla if the right offer comes in.

He said: "Hoffenheim made an offer, but at the moment it is not something that is acceptable to Sevilla or the player.

"Neither Zenit nor any other Russian club has made a formal offer, although it is true that some clubs have sounded out the possibility.

"No player leaves a club to go somewhere he does not want. The offer must interest both Sevilla and the player."

Fazio's contract at Sevilla runs out in 18 months.
